May is Building Safety Month

May marks Building Safety Month, a time to recognize the vital role building safety professionals play in protecting our homes, workplaces, and communities. This year is especially meaningful as we celebrate 70 years of the Ontario Build

ing Officials Association (OBOA). Seven decades of leadership, education, and advocacy in support of safe, code-compliant construction across Ontario.

Formed on March 6, 1956, the Ontario Building Officials Association (OBOA) was established with the goal of creating an association to strengthen building inspection standards in Ontario, promote uniform regulations and proper legislation, and support the education and professional development of Building Officials. OBOA continues to evolve to support the industry as it changes.​​​​
